Abstract

Rats were exposed to [1,2-<superscript>14</superscript>C] vinyl chloride in a closed system at initial concentrations below 100 ppm. When the system was occupied by 3 rats, a half-life of vinyl chloride in the system's atmosphere of 1.13 ± 0.12 h was observed. The volume of the system was 10.3 l. Calculation of the clearance of vinyl chloride from the system revealed that about 40% of inspired vinyl chloride is absorbed by lung. Therefore, changes in respiration did not influence uptake of vinyl chloride.
